Improving free hosting project

LeviLevi Veteran

So, I have pretty large free hosting project. There is premium plan. All is good, but now I would like to substantially boost whole ordeal and increase revenue. What should I offer?

    Voted "platinum plan" but this is coming from someone who doesn't currently use your product.

    Edit: I was just voting based on an imagined scenario where I was a customer. A higher paid plan could incentivize me to upgrade while keeping everything in one place and not needing to migrate.

    I must ask you a question back to help me make my answer, What are your first gut instincts and which decision are you preferring yourself @Levi ?

    I feel as if certainly you know more about the project than anyone else so I'd be curious to know what you think of the whole situation and of each options individually. I think this can help in finding the most optimal solution hopefully.

    Nonetheless, Good luck with the future for your project @Levi whatever the decision may be!

    Nope. Niche customer base: euro customers only.
